Mr.. Pat Starr and Miss Maggie Welsch,
both of this city, were united in
marriage at the Catholic church Mon
day morning April the 18th, Rev.
Beyerle performed the ceremony. They
took the c. NJ & ST. Paul train the
same day for short wedding trip to
Wausau, Oshkosh and other points.
They have the best wishes of host OF
friends.
Alex Muir, of Pittsville, was a well
Same caller at this Office the past week
While here he informed us that he had
purchased a half interest in a trunk
factory and a general merchandise
store at Winona, with Mr. Doud, and
expects to leave for that city the first OF
May. Alex has the best wishes of a
host of friends in Wood county who
wish him abundant success.
The result of the city election held at
Marshfield on the 18th inst. was as
follows:
Mayor.-W. H. Upham.
Treasurer.-John Schauer.
Assessor Bever.
Municipal Judge.-Wm. Bartels.
Supervisors.-E. S. Renne, L. A
Arnold, E. NJ. Dening and Jos. Thomas
The high railroad tariffs, the result OF
the Interstate Commerce law, is Great
ing great stir in the business world
The manufacturing institutions in these
two cities feel the effects of it severely.
If change does not take place the
mills will have to shut down on account
of it. We hope some favorable solution
will come out ere long, so that business
will not be impaired.
The number of bills which passed
both houses of the Wisconsin legislature
just closed was SIC; became laws by
executive approval II; vetoed %
About forty bills which passed both
houses, were recalled from the execu-
tive office for correction. These bills
would all have been vetoed had they
not been recalled. A portion of this
number were amended and portion
indefinitely postponed.-[State Journal.
Messrs. Rogers & Nichols were in this
city and Centralia Monday and Tuesday
advertising Horsford's Baking Powder
and Cerealine Flakes, Mocha and Java
coffee. They furnished free lunch
consisting of hot coffee, gems made UP
with Horsford's baking powder All
those who partook of the lunch in
either city can speak of the good quail
ties of each. They were located in
Johnson, Hill & Co.'S store in Centralia
and the City Cash store in this city
where they keep these articles for sale
We understand that the merchants o1
Centralia have entered into an arrange
ment to close their stores of business
upon the Sabbath. This is as it should
be, six days in week are enough
for work. Men ought to have one day
for rest, even if they do not regard ii
for worship. We hope the plan will be
persevered in and made lasting sue
cess. 1t is easy by accommodating peo-
pie to get in the way of opening more
and more and SO educate the people to
Sabbath trade, but once let it be under
stood that the stores are closed and
people will soon be just as well accom-
modated upon week days. We hope
the merchants of Grand Rapids will
not be behind those of our sister city in
this reform.
